Anchorage

Anchorage At only 30-minute drive from Alaskan wilderness, Anchorage offers all the comforts of a large US metropolitan. Great outdoors is much more than just a way of life here. Founded in early 1900s as a work camp for the Alaska Railroad, the city has been through its share of ups and downs. It was once completely destroyed by an earthquake but its spirit rebounded quickly to give it a chic shape that it has today. As the political and economic heart of Alaska, Anchorage offers vacationers immense expanses of greenbelts, micro breweries, skiing slopes, thriving arts scene, and the world renowned agricultural region in the Matanuska Valley.

In Alska even a big city as Anchorage seems rural, in a good way. Calm, nice, nice people, everythign is so much better.

The only problem with Alaska is that it's too cold and too dark for too long, the rest is amazing :)
